Common questions

What can I do instead of the Band Front Lateral Raise?

The closest substitutes are the Barbell Skier, Battling Ropes and Dumbbell Raise. Each trains the delts as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Band Front Lateral Raise programming.

Which Band Front Lateral Raise alternative should I try first?

Start with the Barbell Skier — it targets the delts with a barbell and is the closest match in this list.

Can I just rotate these with the Band Front Lateral Raise?

Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the delts first.
